Hi, I have just got a Silver PS2 and I have a problem. I have it connected to a Sony 5.1 system through an optical cable. When I play a DVD it is only coming through the left and right channels. There seams to be no Dolby Digital coming out. I also have my Xbox connected to it and that works fine, I have tried swapping the cables over but its just the same. Any ideas?

If the DVD runs in Dolby Digital (or DTS if your AMP supports it) then it should work fine. Have you switched Optical input on from the menu interface? I had that problem and it worked fine afterwards.
What DVD? Are you sure the DVD you are trying to play wasn't decoded in 2.0 Digital or Dolby 1.0?
So do you think its broke?
DVD's shouldn't be a problem though despite the sound quality being vastly down graded.
I haven’t even tried a game, I am talking about films on DVD.
99% of PS2 games only run in Pro Logic/2. It will only come out of the front 3 with very subtle and quiet stereo sounds from the back 2.
SSX Tricky supports Dolby Digital, MGS2 in cut scenes and Vicey City supports DTS throughout. Thats about it.
